Out-of-state Plates

January 9, 1986

ACCORDING TO Florida Statue 320 and verified by the Florida Highway Patrol, you must have a valid automobile license plate on your vehicle if you are employed in Florida, have a child in school or have filed for homestead exemption.

At a time when our community is struggling with the issue of raising taxes to finance roads, I wonder why the majority of construction sites in Central Florida have so many out-of-state plates? Do we not need their money as well?

If they are going to work and enjoy our community, then they should obey our laws and our laws need to be enforced.
